It's no surprise that Twitch streamers and YouTubers are sometimes paid to play games and so long as it is disclosed as a paid promotion, it tends not to cause too much controversy - even without knowing the exact figures. "For this he was paid around $1 million", Reuters was told by a source.

Although Kotaku was not able to independently confirm the veracity of Reuters' report, two people who have worked with Ninja said he was paid $849,992 for one event previous year. I'd personally stream practically anything on Twitch for a fraction of that. Similarly, releasing the battle pass without fixing the free Apex Coins exploit would've yielded catastrophic results.

Even as Respawn continues banning cheat users, it's hard to enforce those bans - since Apex Legends is free, there's little stopping players from simply signing up for a new account and starting all over. "EA requires full disclosure and transparency with every Game Changer, content activation, or paid sponsorship that we are involved with", it reads.

Apex Legends is a really good game that seemed to come out of nowhere: One minute we're speculating about a Titanfall battle royale, and the next it draws 2.5 million players in its very first day. Apex Legends players who claim their reward for being a subscriber will receive 1,000 Apex coins, a Flatline epic weapon skin, and a special banner badge.

Shortly after, the development team behind the game issued the following response.

Many people expected the Battle Pass to drop on March 12, especially after an accidental leak on the Origin description page for Apex. Either way, EA is sure to have no regrets in its decisions. On Apex Legends' release day, it doubled Fortnite's concurrent viewership numbers - pulling off a coup that, days earlier, nobody would've thought possible.
